Today I'm showing you my 3rd project as guest designer at Paper Smooches. I only used the stamp set Be Merryto create this card. Oh no that's not correct I actually also used the die set Decorate a Treefor the golden star, circles and candy bar. I finally also could use some left over paper, which happens not often enough.

For my second card I used the die set Ginger Bread House. I created a little scene. The mountains are not dies from Paper Smooches, but I thought they fitted best. The ginger bread Man can slide over to the house. I used a die from My Favorite Things called Surf & Turf.

I hope you all had a nice week-end. I spent some time in Italy in the Valley of Aosta for a wellness stay. Wonderful spa with amazing Italian restaurant. Best way to spend a really nice and relaxing moment.

And this is my second contribution as Gest Desginer at Paper Smooches. I used this beautiful die cut on 2 different cards. The first one is a rainbow Christmas card with a mix of 6 distress ink colors. I used silver paper at the back so that it pops out well.

On my second card I used my ZIG Pensto create a colorful background. I die cut on white foam so the text will have some dimension. It saves a lot of time. I used to die cut 4 to 5 times on paper and stick them together. This would have taken forever :)

Now I can finally tell you about being Guest Designer this month at Paper Smooches.Thank you dear Kim for the opportunity. It was a bit a sweat getting the mail to Switzerland on time, but we managed it finally. I'm happy to present every Wednesday of November a card with the newest stamps and dies from Paper Smooches. This one is made in a CAS style. Hope you like it.

Welcome to our November Challenge at STEMPELGARTEN. Let's play BINGO ! I think you're all familiar with this one... just choose any column or row (vertically, horizontally or diagonally) on the grid and use those three items. For my card I chose the lower row (Charms-Diecut-Grey) I used a die from Poppystamps - Jumbled Happy Birthday. I hope I could inspire you a bit. Love this color combination :)

Good evening,

I made this card tonight for the November challenge at Paper Smooches with the theme Giving Thanks. I heat embossed several stamps of the Natural Beautiesset. The sentiment "thanks friend" is from the same set. The frame die is also from Paper Smooches - Frame 5. I used my ZIG markers to create the watercolor background.

My name is Melanie-Jane and I live in the beautiful Swiss Alps. Some of you might now that I have 2 favorite pastimes. Creating greeting cards and scuba diving. I will be sharing pictures of my cards and holiday destinations.
